That was an old post! I upgraded to a Maker a couple years ago, but I don’t use it to cut wood, even though it is rated to do so. I designed shingle strips and cut them out of heavy card stock. I paint, texture, stain, etc the strips and make sure they are thoroughly dry before applying them. I recently used this technique on my Lapin Lavande bash. You can see photos on my Instagram page. https://www.instagram.com/p/CuLJA5hvfWe/?img_index=1

Thank you Shannon! Congratulations to Brae as well; I love her build! I don’t know if others on this forum entered this year. Hopefully they will chime in. The link for the winner announcements is https://www.miniatures.com/WebPage.aspx?WebpageId=2120 They will be posting the first time entry award winners on Thursday.

Be safe in your move! May it go easy and uneventful! Wishing you the very best and a happy settling into your new home. Keep us posted!

Nicely done! I'm looking forward to seeing other rooms as you finish them.

It’s sweet!

Congratulations Kathie. I hope you have a safe and uneventful move!

1:52 might work but it will be smaller. Body sizes vary by maker but typically male and female figures are slightly different in height, so you might be able to find figures that will work for you in this scale. I think 1:64 will be too much smaller to work at all. You might want to try model train suppliers. USA “O” scale is 1:48 or as close to it as you will likely get. Good luck!
